The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 389 It's actually quite simple to have a net worth of over 100 million.
Saturday.

"Lin Li, Mom has gone out and won't be back until evening. Lunch is already prepared and it's in the pot. You can just add some hot water and eat it. You can go out for dinner, so you don't need to prepare anything."

Around noon, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Min's voice came from outside.

It's the weekend, and Wu Min isn't so busy that she has to go to work immediately after attending a parent-teacher meeting at home. So today, she just went out to chat and go shopping with her friends.

"Okay, got it."

Lin Li, who was in bed but not sleeping but cultivating, replied.

He still maintains his habit of practicing the extended version of "Eight-Section Body Strengthening Exercise" every morning, but since there is no longer a mandatory early rising time, Lin Li will adjust it to 8 o'clock on weekends.

This wasn't laziness; Lin Li did it with a deeper purpose.

— This will allow the title "Fruit of Perseverance" to continue to play its role and improve your sleep efficiency.

The more you sleep, the higher the title will increase your sleep efficiency.

So the more you sleep, the less you need to sleep.

Of course, if you insist that Lin Li wants to get a good night's sleep, Lin Li can't argue with that.

"Okay, Mom's going out now." Wu Min's voice and footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Yesterday, after Wu Min and Chen Yuying's mother added each other on WeChat, their chat history was filled with undisguised messages.

The two chatted for a while in a relatively polite manner. The adult world was still so fake. Lin Li could tell at a glance that their words were half true and half false, extremely hypocritical.

Wu Min said your Chen Yuying is great, and our Lin Li has caused you trouble—this part is true.

Chen Yuying's mother said that your Lin Li is also very good, and that our Yuying is the one who is causing you trouble—this part is not true.

In the end, the conclusion was to let the children have their own time and for the adults not to interfere.

Of course, the classic line "Let's have a meal together sometime" was also used.

As for when that time will actually come, only heaven knows.

Once the sound of the door closing reached the room, Lin Li paused the operation of the magic technique, got up, and moved the chair in front of the door.

—Although Wu Min respects Lin Li's privacy and almost never opens the door randomly, she is always worried about what might happen. However, locking the door from the inside at home would be too deliberate. Therefore, Lin Li chooses to place a chair there to simply block the door from opening. The brief delay is enough for Lin Li to make everything seem normal.

Walking into the kitchen, Lin Li opened the double-handled pot on the induction cooker to see what delicious food Wu Min had prepared for him.

Wow, the golden legend!

In the center of the pot lies a perfectly baked golden wheat disc, its surface coated with a layer of meticulously ground brown-yellow secret-recipe flavor powder. Between the powder and the wheat disc, the concentrated essence of meat fat is faintly visible, deep and mellow.

Surrounding this artwork are thin slices of vegetables that have undergone low-temperature vacuum sublimation—preserving the vibrant colors and concentrated flavors of spring's essence, such as carrots, scallions, and cabbage!

As an elegant embellishment and complement, a finely crafted, long strip of meat lies on one side, its alluring pinkish-red sheen contrasting beautifully with an amber-colored egg. This egg is no ordinary piece; it has acquired a deep brown coat and a smooth, jade-like texture from the secret braising sauce!
Looking at such a feast, Lin Li's lips twitched with excitement, and he couldn't stop sneering (へ╬).

The scene before me, in layman's terms: a package of instant noodles (probably Kangshifu braised beef noodles), a sausage (definitely Shuanghui Wangzhongwang), and a braised egg (probably a country bumpkin egg).

Gone.

Grass.

"Lin Li, you can eat it if you add some hot water."

Wu Min's words echoed in my mind at that moment.

Very good, there's no arguing with that, that's definitely true.

"Sister Min, you deserve to have a son like me," Lin Li said through gritted teeth.

Sure enough, so-called maternal love only needs two meals—a late-night snack on Thursday and dinner on Friday—to be completely exhausted.

However, this is normal, since Lin Li only ate lunch at home today, while Wu Min eats out for both meals, so there's really no need for her to cook.

But it's still too raw and unappealing.

Lin Li took out his phone and decisively ordered takeout.

At the same time, she tidied up some of the things she had bought in her room and storage room, preparing to leave.

After lunch, with everything ready, Lin Li spent 20 system currency to refresh the "Return" button and arrived in the world of cultivation.

"Grandpa, Senior Deng, today may be the last time we see each other."

As the white light faded and the image of the Upside-Down Mountain reappeared before their eyes, Lin Li spoke to Shan Qing Dao Ren and Deng Wen, who were looking over.

Take out the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd" and retrieve several packages from it.

Now that Lin Li has this gourd with storage space far exceeding that of the "Qiankun Ring", he can carry several times more things when traveling between the two worlds than before, and carrying them is no longer difficult.

Deng Wen was stunned: "Lin Li, are you going to die?"

Master Shanqing was taken aback: "You just finished my funeral, and now you're going to hold yours?"

Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

Those two old folks can talk.

The two had instantly appeared beside him and began pinching and squeezing themselves, trying to break through the 'barrier of perception' granted by the supernatural power and check on Lin Li's situation.

"No, Grandpa Shanqing, didn't I tell you before that my supernatural power can not only take me to this world? It may also take me to other worlds. And the world I am in is about to enter the next month, which is the time when my supernatural power will be refreshed."

There's a very high probability I won't be able to return to the cultivation world next month, and I'm not sure if there will be a chance to return in any future month.

Upon seeing this, Lin Li smiled and explained.

Today is indeed November 30th, the last day of the month. If nothing unexpected happens, if I click 'Return' again tomorrow, it's very likely to be a new world, or it could be back to the apocalypse.

I wonder how much time has passed in the post-apocalyptic world, even though a month has gone by.

"Oh, oh..." Daoist Shanqing slapped his forehead and then explained, "It's not that I forgot, it's just that we've only spent about two days together, so I'm not very sensitive to the time perception defined by supernatural powers."

I can't believe a month has already passed...

"Is it impossible to come back...?"

Deng Wen quickly understood the current situation, and then spoke in a low voice with some disappointment.

“Senior Deng, he didn’t say it was a death sentence. Maybe in a few months, his supernatural powers will designate this place as the otherworld I’m going to, and then I can come back,” Lin Li comforted him. “That’s why I said it was a ‘possible’ last meeting. More likely, we’re just parting ways temporarily.”

"A temporary farewell? Alas, even a temporary farewell is something that makes one feel despair and sadness just thinking about it."

Deng Wen's mood did not improve; he merely managed a weak smile at Lin Li.

Unbeknownst to me, I have already formed a deep bond with my two seniors.

Lin Li felt somewhat gratified and moved.

Mountain Green Taoist: "My takeout and snacks..."

Deng Wen: "What do we care about our appetites? The important thing is what to do when the electricity runs out. We rely entirely on Lin Li to recharge..."

Lin Li blinked.

Undo and edit it again.

Before we knew it, food delivery, snacks, mobile phones, and computers had formed a deep bond with these two predecessors.

Lin Li? Who? Isn't that just a shabby delivery guy?
"It seems we really need to conserve electricity." Daoist Shanqing teleported to his computer, turned off the laptop screen, shook his head, and sighed sincerely, "It's a pity that my Wujiu Lightning can't be used for charging. If only I had a physical body."

The Linli Pure and Righteous Thunder Control Technique can be used to recharge if properly adjusted, but the Blameless Thunder of Heaven and Earth cannot do so.

Since Daoist Shanqing has no physical form and cannot cultivate new thunder magic, he has been using the outdoor power supply brought by Lin Li to charge his devices.

Deng Wen also teleported to his laptop, but instead of turning off the screen, he started operating it and then stared intently at the screen.

Seeing this, Lin Li and Daoist Shan Qing both curiously approached.

Deng Wen had seven or eight windows open, each playing videos at double speed. The sounds from all the windows were mixed with the sound of the laptop's fan whirring and smoking, creating a chaotic scene.

"Senior Deng, what's wrong with you...?"

"I'll go through them in my mind one by one at 1x speed later, which will save 90% of the battery," Deng Wen explained, still focused intently on his laptop.

Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

As expected of a great person, his mind is truly brilliant.

If Senior Deng were to become a security guard in the future, and used this skill to monitor the surveillance cameras, he could probably avoid all risks, be promoted to security team leader in three months, become security supervisor in six months, and become manager in a year! He would reach the pinnacle of security!

As expected of a senior!
Lin Li himself could be distracted, but he could never do it to this extent.

"Grandpa Shanqing and Senior Deng, there's no need to be so anxious. I've made preparations," Lin Li said with a smile as he returned to his previous position and picked up a long box to show them to the two of them. "With this, you can generate electricity on your own."

"Oh? What is this?" Deng Wen and Shan Qing stepped forward and asked with some curiosity.

Lin Li kept everyone in suspense, then opened the box and took out the parts.

Although Deng Wen came into contact with Lin Li and physical objects relatively late, he had actually watched more documentaries than Shan Qing Dao Ren. He made a guess: "Lin Li, could this be... a helicopter propeller?"

"The answer is close, or even the opposite!" Lin Li looked at Deng Wen with an approving gaze, then revealed the answer: "It's the blades of a wind turbine that hasn't been installed yet!"

"The two are somewhat similar in appearance, but their functions are completely opposite."

Wind turbine blades need to be blown by the wind to produce energy for other electrical appliances, while helicopter rotors take in energy during flight and produce wind to cool the pilot.

Deng Wenben was still mentally memorizing these 'knowledge points' when he heard this and was taken aback. How could it be different from what he remembered?
"Aren't helicopter rotors used to blow air to the pilot? Aren't they for making the helicopter fly?"

Lin Li smiled but remained silent.

Deng Wen still has a lot to learn; at present, he is still too superficial in his understanding of things.

Just pick any helicopter in flight, and if the rotor suddenly stops spinning, you'll see the pilot drenched in sweat. Isn't the answer obvious? It's because the external fan has stopped working, causing the pilot to get incredibly hot!
Having read the travel guide beforehand, Lin Li quickly assembled the equipment and connected it to an outdoor power source.

After adjusting the voltage controller, when the fan blades started to rotate and the power supply showed that it was charging, Shan Qingdao and Deng Wen's eyes lit up.

Creating a new lightning seed is difficult, but simply letting spiritual energy blow through this leaf is an extremely simple matter for them.

If it can be open source, who would want to cut costs?

"Grandpa Shanqing or Senior Deng, you can control the wind speed yourselves. It's best to maintain a consistent wind speed for a long time to maximize the lifespan of the product."

"Don't panic if it really breaks. These are spare parts. You can repair it yourself according to the instructions."

"Good, good, good, Lin Li, thank you for your hard work and for thinking so thoughtfully of us." Daoist Shanqing nodded with satisfaction and kindness.

"It was nothing, just a small favor. It's nothing compared to the help you've given me during this time," Lin Li replied, bowing in return for his gratitude.

If the two of them are satisfied, that would be great.

The last award Kobe received in his life was a helicopter propeller.

Now, by presenting a wind turbine, which is both similar to and opposite to the original, I am implying that today is an end, but also a beginning.

We'll meet again someday.

"It's a pity we have nothing to give you as a farewell gift," sighed Daoist Shanqing.

“I still have some ‘Azure Sky Flowers’ that I haven’t picked,” Deng Wen hesitated upon hearing this, “but my intention in not picking them was to gather sword energy to further refine them and improve their quality. I’ll give them to you later.”

"But now... Lin Li, if we're not sure if you'll be able to come back, do you need me to bring all of that to you?"

"No need," Lin Li said with a smile and shook his head. "I haven't used almost anything of what you gave me before. Rather than taking some more, I'd rather keep these as a surprise for when I come back in the future."

“That’s good. I also think we’ll meet again.” Deng Wen nodded. “With your hope, I have a glimmer of hope to continue ‘living’ in this state.”

"Don't act like you'd be willing to completely disintegrate and disappear if Lin Li doesn't come back and the demons die," Shan Qing Dao Ren retorted sharply, then patted Lin Li's shoulder, his voice full of vigor: "Lin Li, don't worry about Grandpa. Even if you don't come back, I'll still survive!"

"Okay." Lin Li replied with a smile, "Grandpa, senior, let's order takeout."

"No rush, tell us about your cultivation problems too, and we'll answer them together today." The two waved their hands.

Time passes slowly.

The actions of Shan Qing Dao Ren and Deng Wen just now made it seem as if Lin Li was completely unimportant, but in reality, that's not the case at all.

For eight hours, neither of them used their phones or computers for even a second.

Answering Lin Li's cultivation questions only took a few minutes. For the rest of the time, the two continued to draw spiritual energy to the mountaintop while diligently staying by Lin Li's side, frantically writing with their pens.

The writing contains a lot of content.

On their future path of cultivation, Lin Li recorded all the problems they might encounter and their solutions, all the subtle insights they gained from practicing techniques and swordsmanship, all the bottlenecks they might face and the ingenious ways to overcome them, and even their imaginations about higher realms that they had never set foot in but had deduced.

There are also records of magical treasures, formations, and other things in the world, as well as standards for judging them, so that when Linli obtains items from the cultivation world through supernatural powers in the future, he will also have a dictionary to search for them and make preliminary judgments on their quality and level.

Their pens moved swiftly across the pages, as if trying to imprint centuries of accumulated knowledge and all their expectations for the next generation onto the paper.

The large amount of paper they had brought from the real world was now proving insufficient, forcing the two to further reduce the size of the text.

Lin Li was ultimately moved.

After all, for him, what he did in the past month was really just a trivial matter.

【0.02.20】

"Senior Deng, Grandpa Shanqing, we'll meet again someday!" After storing the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd," which contained a huge amount of spiritual energy and 'knowledge,' into the [warehouse], Lin Li bowed deeply to the two of them in farewell.

"it is good."

The farewell was so sudden; Lin Li simply vanished from their sight.

Both Shanqing Daoren and Deng Wen stared at the spot where Lin Li had disappeared for a long time.

For a long time.

Master Shanqing sighed, "I'm not even in the mood to play games anymore..."

Deng Wen nodded: "Same here, I don't really want to watch documentaries anymore..."

The two looked at each other.

The Taoist priest made a heartbreaking decision to watch a documentary.

In his grief, Deng Wen decided to play some games.

……

into the night.

Lin Li opened the door and glanced at the shoes on the doormat. It seemed that Wu Min had already returned home.

In the afternoon, I completed my driving practice hours, and then went to the school to meet Bai Bufan for dinner. As for tonight, the "three people and one dog" ended up playing a murder mystery game, but the experience wasn't very good.

None of the five people had played offline murder mystery games much, so they had no idea whether a script was good or bad.

The five-player dungeon we played tonight wasn't very good quality, and the DM wasn't very skilled, so what was supposed to be a four-hour run ended up being over in two hours in a blur, and it wasn't fun at all.

However, the shop owner was aware of this and, in order to avoid negative reviews, not only did they only charge half the money this time, but they also created a group chat, saying that next time everyone could ride the car for free.

Although the five people were fairly satisfied with the compensation, this notebook was truly awful, wasting two hours of their precious weekend.

Therefore, Bai Bufan and Lin Li decided to teach Ben a good lesson tonight.

Still 350234./
But before Lin Li could even enter his room, the door to the master bedroom was opened.

"What's wrong, Mom? Is something the matter?" Lin Li had probably gotten out of bed after hearing the door open, so he immediately assumed that the person was looking for him.

As expected, Wu Min nodded: "Lin Li, do you still remember Aunt Zhenzhen?"

"Oh—" Lin Li drawled, a flash of recollection in his eyes: "I remember, I remember, Aunt Zhenzhen is female."

Wu Min crossed her arms and stared at Lin Li.

Lin Li shrugged: "I don't remember."

Lin Li now possesses an almost photographic memory, but this is only true after he acquired the system.

“Whether you remember or not doesn’t matter,” Wu Min smiled and shook her head, then continued, “After hearing today that you are now the top student in your grade at Nansang Middle School, she wants to ask you to come to her house to tutor her child.”

“Her child is very resistant to having real teachers as tutors, but your Aunt Zhenzhen asked him today, and he would be willing to accept it if you were the teacher.”

"Of course, Aunt Zhenzhen didn't say that she knew Mom and wanted you to tutor her family for free. She was planning to hire you for 100 yuan an hour to try it out, and if it worked out well, she was willing to pay more."

"Mom actually tried to refuse you and explained what you were, but she just wouldn't believe it. She didn't believe you were an evil spirit that would harm her child. She insisted on sticking to her beliefs."

"Then Mom doesn't mind. It's a favor from a friend. It's no big deal for you to teach. Mom can also give you an extra hundred yuan per hour so you can save some pocket money to use as funds for dating."

"But if you've taken the money and are planning to go, then you should control yourself and not ruin their family's life."

"Of course, it's up to you. If you really don't want to go, then don't go. Mom can easily find you an excuse."

"Mom, forget it, I don't want to go." Lin Li immediately refused after Wu Min finished speaking.

100 per hour?

For a non-professional tutor like myself, this was indeed a very good price in Xiling town. The other party didn't seem to be trying to take advantage of me at all; they were very sincere.

But besides being an evil spirit, he's also a gold miner from another world and a handsome young man in the real world, now worth hundreds of millions:
Gold has now risen to 50 million, and the family's house, car, and savings combined probably amount to 1.3 million. As an only child, this is considered his own net worth. The Chen family's assets should also be over 40 million. Chen Yuying is an only child, so these assets belong to her, and she considers them her own. Adding them together, isn't that a small goal?
Lin Li thinks this method of calculating net worth is very reasonable.

So, I'm sorry, but for a job that pays $100 an hour, there's already a sad, thick barrier between us.

"Alright then." Seeing Lin Li's decisive refusal without any hesitation, Wu Min understood and gave up trying to persuade him further. She simply went back to her room to get her phone, saying, "I told you you were busy."

[Having cultivated for so long, my name has spread throughout Nansang. Unbeknownst to me, some of my former apprentices are now cultivators who are willing to sincerely become my disciples!]

The torch should be passed on, and the transmission should be orderly. Since the other party has expressed their sincerity, although I dare not presume to call myself a teacher, offering some guidance is merely a small favor!

[Mission triggered!]

[Task 5: Accept the commission and sincerely teach the monks for three hours (0/3).]

[Task Rewards: Physical Improvement: Comprehension increased by 10%, spell effectiveness increased by 50%; System Currency * 100]

?

Lin Li was taken aback.

Before considering anything else, Lin Li quickly turned his head: "Sister Min, wait!"

"What's wrong?" Wu Min turned around, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Li: "Did Aunt Zhenzhen hold me when I was little?"

Wu Min frowned, wondering why Lin Li suddenly asked this. After thinking for a moment, she shrugged uncertainly: "Huh? I forgot, I don't think so."

"You said it's enough to hug him."

Wu Min: "?"

"So...you hugged me?"

"I remember now, I remember everything. If she hadn't held me back then and transferred her warmth to me, I would have almost frozen to death at home."

Lin Li's gaze was deep, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at Wu Min:
“I will repay your life-saving grace with all my heart. Sister Min, I… will take this order.”
